Hello. This was a crazy week. Monday we learned a technique they use called T4T. (Training for Trainers) It is a tool that we can use on the field. Tuesday we all went to Washington D.C. The weather was great. It was overcast but didn't rain until we were leaving. We didn't really get to spend to much time there so we are planning to go back on a Saturday in the next couple of weeks. Our bus stopped in Union Station and before we even got out of there we witnessed to a lady from Zimbabwe. She was very nice. She had grown up a Catholic and before we left she had invited us to visit her family in Zimbabwe. We then met David's cousin Blair. They had not seen each other for over 20 years. Blair and her family live and work in the D.C. area. Blair if your reading this. Hello. She got us a behind the scenes tour of the Capitol. We had 2 interns take us in the underground tunnels that go from the Congressional offices to the Capitol. Pretty cool. We then took the Metro. The kids had never been on a subway. They had fun. We had 2 Journeyman with us. It helped a lot to have 2 girls that didn't mind giving piggy back rides. My back would have never made it. We visited the White House (just the outside) and then we had to get back. We didn't want the bus to leave without us. It was a very exhausting day.
Wednesday was a hard day because we had so much to do and every time we tried to call someone the phone died. The Internet wouldn't work. Nobody seemed to be picking up their phones. We had classes all day and we were just frustrated. It was just one of those days. Thursday the Lord answered our prayers. After class in the morning our schedule was changed and we were allowed to have Personal Application Time. So all the stuff we couldn't get done Wed. we got done Thurs. What a blessing. God is good all the time. Friday our speaker was Tom Elliff. He has been to McGregor in the past year I think. He was great he talked about forgiveness and breaking the curse of words, listening and keeping the faith. He was great. Those are really great tools to have.
Prayer Requests: We signed the papers yesterday for the house. We should close on Friday.
David's Birthday is Friday, March 14th and Leah's birthday is Sunday March 16th
That David would finish his paper. It is due tomorrow.
For Valerie the lady from Zimbabwe we met in Union Station.
That we would not grow weary. This has been a tough week.
Thank you for all of your prayers.

Hey David & Tracy,
Orientation sounds like a really incredible experience. It's neat that you are having all these learning experiences as a family.
God bless, we are praying for you.
Hi Tracy and David! I have been thinking about and praying for you and your family. We really enjoyed reading your blog and are looking forward to hearing about all of your experiences. I am not that good about writing so I apologize that it took so long. Miss seeing you around Mcgregor. We will continue to pray for you! God bless!
